A force beyond the Standard Model - Status of the quest for hidden photons
Joerg Jaeckel
TL;DR
This paper reviews the current status of experimental and theoretical efforts to detect hidden photons, hypothetical gauge bosons that could extend the Standard Model and explain dark matter phenomena.
Contribution
It provides an overview of the search strategies and recent progress in detecting hidden photons kinetically mixed with the Standard Model photon.
Findings
Various experimental bounds on hidden photon parameters
Potential signals and anomalies in recent searches
Future prospects for hidden photon detection
Abstract
In this note we discuss the search for new gauge forces beyond the Standard Model. In particular we give an overview for the simplest case of a new U(1), kinetically mixed with the Standard Model photon (hypercharge boson), a so-called hidden photon (also known as dark photon, heavy photon or A').
